Do you need legal information for your course?

Of course you do if you’re a student in the Law School, but other subject disciplines use legal information as well. Areas of law such as employment, health, media, planning and safety are often of interest to students and staff in a variety of faculties and departments, including Medicine, Dentistry and Health.

There are two legal databases, Lexis and Westlaw that are widely used by law students and by law firms. Both employ friendly, helpful student associates on campus, and you can contact them for help in using the databases. The associate for Lexis is Emmi Wilsoneewilson1@shef.ac.ukand the associate for Westlaw is Trish Hughespahughes1@shef.ac.uk
